“…The training was reported to be effective, and the training effects lasted longer after repeated exposure [ 17 ]. In a similar way, adequate and sufficient explanation to patients with back pain not only increased patient satisfaction but also significantly helped with post-treatment managements such as posture correction, stretching and exercise, and weight control [ 18 ]. In view of this, if education can be provided easily and repeatedly using video platforms such as YouTube, it will be certainly helpful for the treatment of back pain.…”

Background: YouTube, the largest online video platform, has become increasingly popular as a source of health information to patients. The aim of the study was to assess whether Korean patients were well informed about spinal injection from YouTube.Methods: Search for the keyword “cheog-chu ju-sa” in Korean language was done, and the quality of the 51 videos with the highest number of views was evaluated independently by two pain management doctors.Results: The averages of global quality scores evaluated by the two doctors were 3.0 and 3.5 and modified DISCERN (mDISCERN) scores were 2.8 and 3.0, respectively. The Kappa statistic between the two doctors’ scores was 0.285 and 0.417.Conclusions: The percentage of low-quality videos with a global quality score of 2 or less is 18–36%, which indicated that these videos might provide inaccurate or misleading medical information to the patient. Pain clinic doctors should be wary of medically misleading information available on online platforms, such as YouTube, and strive to create and distribute professional quality educational materials.

“…In light of this information, we think that the dissatisfaction in 44.4% of the aforementioned participants could be due to the physician not showing the attitude they expected. A good treatment response and doctor-patient communication are critical for patient satisfaction 12 , 13 , 14 ) . We think that satisfaction was absent due to communication failures between the doctors and patients.…”

Objective: This study is unique as it examines biological materials brought to the emergency department. The purpose of this study was to investigate the reasons behind the presence of nonhuman biological material in the emergency department. Methods: The materials brought were photographed and a pre-prepared survey form was filled in following examination. Results: A total of 46 biological materials were brought to the emergency department within a 12-month period. Ticks were the most frequently brought material, and the most common reason for bringing them was to get the creature removed from the body . Situations in which the physician did not have knowledge about the material were more frequent among those that were neutral about being satisfied with the attitude of the physician towards the material brought , and satisfaction was higher in cases when the physician was knowledgeable, although this was not statistically significant. Conclusion: Physicians should not condemn biological materials brought into the department after exposure. If possible, they should try to gain more knowledge about them. If the material is not to be stored, once it is made sure that it is not dangerous, it should be disposed of in a medical waste bin. Physicians should be knowledgeable toward the frequency and the types of such agents in their region.

“…Therefore, physicians must make greater efforts in explaining the pros and cons relating to the use of steroids and steroid injections, to their patients. Sufficient explanation can also increase patients’ satisfaction [9]. Despite 35% of patients perceiving steroid injections negatively, 89% would consent to having steroid injections if recommended by their pain physicians.…”

Background Steroid injections are commonly used in pain clinics to relieve pain and treat inflammation. In Korea, these steroid injections are well known as ‘ppyeojusa’, which means to inject into the bone in Korean. Some patients often have a negative perception of this treatment method due to inaccurate information about the treatment and side effects of steroids. The purpose of this study is to investigate patients’ perception and knowledge of ppyeojusa. Methods A questionnaire about ppyeojusa was completed by patients who visited one of the pain clinics in nine university hospitals, from August 1 to September 10, 2017. Results Three-hundred seventy-four patients completed the survey. Eighty-five percent of patients had had ppyeojusa, and 74% of the respondents had heard of ppyeojusa from the mass media, friends or relatives. Only 39% of the patients answered that this injection was safe without side effects if properly spaced. Of the patients surveyed, 21% responded that ppyeojusa are “injections into the bone”; while 15% responded that ppyeojusa are “terrible injections that melted ‘the bone if used a lot’”. Half of the patients did not know what the active constituent is in ppyeojusa. If steroid injections are advised by the pain specialists, 89% of the patients would consent. Conclusions Most pain clinic patients have heard of ppyeojusa. Most patients obtained information about ppyeojusa from mass media, rather than their physicians. Therefore, it is likely that most patients have inaccurate knowledge.
